    Hi,

    Here’s my problem, I purchased facebook vouchers here but i never receive the vouchers.
    I send $70 to the seller, via paypal.
    If you have had any bad experience like me , what did you do? I love to hear your stories and advice.

    Thanks!

    If you pay through paypal, ask for refund. Paypal is protecting buyer

    Intangible goods are not protected by buyer protection.

    You can not agree all you want. Everytime I have a scammer sign up from DP for my hosting, I mention intangible goods, and the dispute gets closed and I keep the money.

    I have only done this once before - but if I recall correctly if you wait until the dispute is closed you can't make a claim then, so you need to do it now. Just fill in the claim the answers to the questions they are asking you, explaining what happened, just like you told it to us :)

    Paypal will check the transaction logs, and if they find he really did issue the transaction and tried to lie about it, he will be in even more trouble then he is now.

    dont listen to stupid people on the internet.

    Open the dispute and you will get your money back. I have done it when I have been scammed on Ebay or if someone sold me some garbage on the internet.

    If you paid and checked the box that is was "GOODS" instead of intangible you will get your money back.

    I have a feeling we were scammed by the same seller! I just had to file a Paypal Dispute myself over a seller from here who is now BANNED.

    Today i receive this email.. what can i do now?
    I will contact the FBI.

    After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer
    Complaint described below.

    We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any funds
    from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery
    of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

    Please know that we will make our best effort to recover the funds in
    question if they become available in the seller's account in the future and
    will take appropriate action against the seller. Such action may include
    issuing a warning, a temporary restriction, or terminating the account.
    Keep in mind that PayPal uses a number of factors to determine when to take
    action, including member complaints. Due to privacy laws, we cannot discuss
    the details of any action taken. We hope you understand our policy and that
    it assures you that you are safe using PayPal.

    Almost right, intangible goods do not gain seller protection is what it actually is though :)
